PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE SLOAN SOLIS® FLUSHOMETER
Prior to installing the Sloan SOLIS® flushometer, install the items listed
below as illustrated in the rough-in diagram. (New installations only.)
When installing the Sloan SOLIS® in a handicap stall: Per the
ADA Guidelines (section 604.9.4) it is recommended that the
grab bars be split or shifted to the wide side of the stall.
†
For new installations, Sloan strongly recommends the use of our Model 8111
which has a shorter installation height.
‡
Model 8115 & 8116 valves are designed for installations where the water supply
NORMAL WEAR. THESE COMPOENTS SHOULD BE
CHECKED ON A REGULAR BASIS AND REPLACED AS
NEEDED TO MAINTAIN THE VALVE’S PERFORMANCE.
Please take the time to read this manual to ensure proper
product installation and longevity. Also, please visit our

OPERATION
1. A continuous, INVISIBLE light beam is emitted from the Sloan SOLIS
sensor.
2. As the user enters the beam’s effective range, 22 to 42 inches (559 mm
to 1067 mm) for closet installations and 15 to 30 inches (381 mm to 762
mm) for urinal installations, the beam is reflected into the Scanner Window
to activate the Output Circuit. Once activated, the Output Circuit continues
of the sensor. Once the user steps away, a full flush will automatically
initiate.
3. When the user steps away, this initiates a full flush. The circuit
automatically resets and is ready for the next user.
4. In addition to the above the Sloan SOLIS
®
urinal incorporates a standard
deferred flushing mode feature that accommodates the high volume usage
seen in stadiums or similar high attendance facilities.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When required, replace batteries with four (4)
Alkaline AA-Size batteries.
Note: Water does not have to be turned off to
replace batteries.
Loosen the two (2) Screws on top of unit.
Remove the complete cover assembly. Lift
the sensor module from its plate. Unplug the
electrical connector from battery compartment

Install battery compartment cover and secure with retaining screw. Make
certain that battery compartment cover is fully compressed against gasket
to provide a seal; DO NOT overtighten. Plug the electrical connector into

Loosen the two Screws on top of the unit and remove cover. Remove the Rubber
Plug from top of Electronic Sensor Module to uncover the Potentiometer.
RANGE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
For the first ten (10) minutes of operation, a Visible Light flashes in the sensing
window of the SOLIS
®
flushometer when a user is detected. This visible light
feature can be reactivated after ten (10) minutes by opening and closing the
battery compartment door. Check the range by stepping toward the unit until
Always determine the sensing range with metal cover and lens window on top of

CARE AND CLEANING
DO NOT use abrasive or chemical cleaners to clean flushometers as they may dull the luster and attack the
chrome or special decorative finishes. Use ONLY soap and water, then wipe dry with clean cloth or towel.
While cleaning the bathroom tile, the flushometer should be protected from any splattering of cleaner. Acids
and cleaning fluids can discolor or remove chrome plating.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
1. Sensor flashes continuously only when user steps within range.
A. Unit in start-up mode; no problem. This feature is active for the first ten
(10) minutes of operation.
2. Valve does not flush; densor not picking up user.
A. Range too short; increase the range.
3. Valve does not flush; densor picking up opposite wall or
surface, or only flushes when someone walks by. Light flashes
continuously for first 10 minutes even with no one in front of the
sensor.
Remove flex tube diaphragm and wash under running water.
Note: Size of Orifice in the bypass is of utmost importance for
the proper metering of water by the valve. DO NOT ENLARGE
OR DAMAGE THIS ORIFICE. Replace flex tube diaphragm if cleaning
does not correct the problem.
B. Dirt or debris fouling stem or flex tube diaphragm. Remove flex tube
diaphragm and wash under running water.
C. O-ring on stem of flex tube diaphragm is damaged or worn. Replace
o-ring if necessary.
D. Problem with electronic sensor module; replace sensor module.
7. Not Enough Water to Fixture.
A. Wrong flush volume regulator installed in flex tube diaphragm kit. Install
the correct regulator.
B. Wrong Sloan SOLIS model installed; i.e., 1.0 gpf Urinal installed on 3.5
gallon closet fixture. Replace with proper SOLIS model.
C. Enlarged bypass in diaphragm. Replace flex tube diaphragm.
† Flow volume varies with valve model and desired flush volume.
